While David Moyes remained typically coy on Wayne Rooney’s chances of starting against Sunderland on Saturday evening, Paddy Power have every confidence. Indeed, they’re offering Fantasy Football Scout visitors enhanced odds of 4/1 on a Rooney anytime goal against the Black Cats – with his regular odds at 11/10 and with three goals in his last three league outings, this is another great offer for those yet to register a Paddy account.

Click here to get in on this action.

If you’ve already registered an account, you can still benefit from a Rooney Money Back Special from Saturday’s clash – if Rooney scores anytime, Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match.

To be clear, the Wayne Rooney special is limited to a £10 stake and is open to new Paddy Power customers only.

Finally of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to have a bet, always gamble responsibly.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Obviously nothing concrete yet with who's starting and who's not, but I could end up fielding this team if things don't go my way...

    Migs
    Baines Evra Clyne Wilson Burner
    Ozil Ramsey Barkley
    Sturridge Giroud

    Rooney? Michu? Brady!

    Any other injuries I need to know about?

      There have been too many of these injury ridden weeks looming this season... I can't remember one quite like it in this regard...

      I WC'ed out 5/6 flagged players last week, I now have another 2, potentially a 3rd if I'm to believe this Michu news...

      This season is hard enough already, without having to dodge injuries...

    What kind of person are you, glass half full or half empty?

    Half empty:
    -Rooney, Michu, Ben Arfa are all out / 1pt.
    -Zabaleta is rotated
    -Shaw is still ill
    -Jedinak is the fifth MF

    Half full:
    -Rooney, Michu, Ben Arfa will all get a brace
    -Zabaleta a CS plus assist
    -Shaw scores
    -Jedinak is the fifth MF

    Normally my glass is half full but the WC makes it look half empty.

      Good question...

      To be perfectly honest, I tend to align myself with the "glass is half empty" when it comes to doubts surrounding team news, injuries etc...

      But when it comes down to whether or not I've made the right captain choice or transfer, I tend to be more optimistic and support my choice... ... until they fail, and I berate myself for being so stupid to think he would score... 😀

    Stuck with Mirallas and looks like i'll have to keep him cause of Hull next week. By then Barkley will be 5.8 and will prob be 6 by the time i go to make the mirallas to barkley swap. Whitts and Brady'll be better options at a million cheaper by then. Looks like i'll have to go the season without barkley then. should have just got him b4 🙁

      This seems to happen to a lot of people, Keith. I blame the culture of "NEVER take a hit", myself. Leads to indecisiveness.

        Agreed, nonsense altogether. As long as it is prudent and not a foolish wild hit it is worthwhile.

      Similar situation for me. Just got rid of Brady but will want him back. Not sure I'd be willing to splash too much on Barkley unless he continues his good form.

      Backwards logic.

      Exactly what I wanted to say to you for your transfer question - forget Barkley.
      Witt, Brady, maybe lukaku later - Barkley is nice but not worth planning your team around.
